Mishael Morgan co-produced this Juneteenth video of her and fellow soap actors like Bryton, Sean Dominic, Christel Khalil, Angell Conwell, Tamara Braun, and Ryan Carnes speaking the words of MLK.

This is nice and all but SAY SOMETHING NEW. Use your words. Martin Luther King has been dead for 50 years, we have got to stop whipping out this speech every time there's racial upheaval in this country.

 

Not that they're doing it in this case but I constantly see MLK weaponized to shut black people up and I'm tired of it.

Oh damn. Days is gonna be tense as hell when they start filming again. Ugh! I'd kill to be a fly on the wall for that.

But I am so glad that they are calling Missy Reeves out. I hope someone unearths everything about her. 

 

And at this stage, they can kill Jennifer off. She's not that much useful anymore anyway.

Don't sleep on Miss Sweeney, y'all.  Someone tweeted yesterday she follows James Woods AND Candace Owens, both of whom have messages very harmful to certain groups of people.  

 

I don't fault folks for their beliefs and I rode with Ingo until he said there was no racism in America.  Jax can now die off screen.  However, I can't [!@#$%^&*] with anyone who agrees with hate.

 

Following Owens is very suspect but you'd think with Sweeney's history of being harassed by RRK, she'd have no room for predator Woods (Amber Tamblyn told him she was 16 after he hit on her but he still tried to get with her).  I guess Sweeney likes his message more than being bothered by the creepiness!

    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Amber doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
